Introduction

This video provides a thorough review of the LAGOM casa electric grinder, comparing it to the Comandante grinder. The reviewer, Kenken, covers specs, appearance, blade comparison, disassembly, assembly, grinding time and residue measurements, cleaning, and a blind taste test comparing the coffee produced by both grinders.

Key Takeaways

• LAGOM casa Specs and Price: The LAGOM casa is a 65mm conical burr electric grinder from an Australian company, currently manufactured in China. At the time of the review (November 2024), the price was approximately ¥83,199 (around $535 USD). A price increase was announced for January 2025.
• Design and Build Quality: The grinder features a sleek, compact design with high-quality materials (aluminum exterior). The build quality is excellent, with tight tolerances (clearance of less than 0.1mm between components).
• Grinding Performance: The LAGOM casa demonstrates minimal residue (0.01g or less), fast grinding speed (around 20 seconds for 20g of beans), and produces consistent particle size distribution, although slightly more fines than the Comandante. The taste test revealed noticeable differences in the resulting coffee.
• Comparison with Comandante: A blind taste test comparing coffee ground with the LAGOM casa and the Comandante showed distinct flavor profiles. The LAGOM casa produced a cleaner, clearer cup with less acidity, while the Comandante resulted in a more acidic, fruitier cup.
• Overall Assessment: Kenken concludes that the LAGOM casa is the strongest electric grinder under ¥100,000 (approximately $650 USD), offering excellent performance and a beautiful design, despite some minor drawbacks (chaff dispersal and burr removal).

The two ways to purchase the LAGOM casa in Japan are:

1. Directly from Option-O (Australia): This method offers a lower price but lacks the warranty and domestic repair services provided by a Japanese retailer.

2. From a Japanese distributor (R&D Espresso Lab): This option is more expensive but includes a warranty and the convenience of domestic repairs.
